Seizing the throne, abolishing the adopted son, the imperial concubine rose to prominence

This was the first thought that came to the minds of the two palace maids, but when they turned around, they were stunned.

The eldest prince was still standing by the pool, and the one who fell into the pool was...

"Help! Help!"

Gu Youxin fell into an ice hole.

"Who fell into the water?"

Two eunuchs hurriedly came over from behind, holding brooms in their hands. They were the two eunuchs who swept the floor that Gu Youxin had seen.

"It's Miss Gu Si, please help her quickly, both eunuchs."

Xiao Yunzheng was so scared that he hid in Xian Yu's arms.

Xianyu had no choice but to carry the person away from the pool, squatted down and comforted him in a low voice.

The ones who panicked and asked for help were naturally the two palace maids who followed Gu Youxin.

"Don't worry, aunts. I'll rescue the fourth young lady right away."

After realizing who fell into the water, the two eunuchs breathed a sigh of relief with almost unnoticeable expressions.

"Miss Gu Si, hurry up and grab it."

One of the eunuchs turned the broom around and put it into the pool.

Gu Youxin, who had taken a few sips of ice water, hurriedly grabbed it.

"Cough cough!"

With the help of two eunuchs, Gu Youxin was finally rescued.

But due to choking on water and being cold, Gu Youxin started to tremble and cough.

"Fourth Miss, are you okay?"

Two palace maids hurried forward to help the man.

No matter what, the fourth Miss Gu is now favored by the Queen Mother. If anything happens, they will not be able to escape punishment in front of the Queen Mother, so these two palace maids rarely show genuine concern on their faces.

"Help...help me go back...back to the house to change clothes."

Gu You was shaking so much that he couldn't even speak a complete sentence.

There were also cuts on his face caused by ice.

"It's dangerous near the pool. Auntie, please take the eldest prince back to the house as soon as possible."

After Gu Youxin and his two servants left, the two eunuchs spoke to Xian Yu.

"But just now Fourth Miss Gu sent a message saying that the Queen Mother is still waiting to see the First Prince."

Xianyu looked embarrassed.

"Don't worry, aunt. We two servants will report to the Queen Mother. Besides, the eldest prince is very frightened, and it's not good to disturb the Queen Mother by going to the front."

One of the eunuchs said.

"Thank you very much, my two fathers-in-law."

Xian Yu bowed and the two eunuchs hurriedly said they dared not.

This place was not far from Jing'an Residence, and Xianyu and the others quickly escorted Xiao Yunzheng back to the house.

"It's so stupid and useless."

A small figure turned out from behind a pillar on the corridor.

Xiao Yun'an's gloomy gaze fell on the empty pool.

It seems I have to do it myself.

Fortunately, he brought the Guanyin statue he had painted last time.

Only by pleasing the old woman of the Cui family could he make these contemptuous palace servants obey his orders.

In the main hall of Ci'an Palace, the empress dowager was naturally unhappy when she heard that Gu Youxin fell into the water. If this man caught a cold, he might not be able to play the piano for her for several days.

But for some reason, the headache has become more severe in the past two days, and even Gu Youxin's piano music doesn't seem to relieve it much.

"Go ask a royal doctor to see her."

The Queen Mother gave a casual order.

As for the "frightened" grandson, the Queen Mother had no time to care about him.

The news of Ci'an Palace soon spread to Changchun Palace through Xiao Anzi's mouth.

Although he heard that his son was fine, Gu Youning still couldn't help but knock over the teacup beside him.

"Don't worry, Concubine. Aunt Xianyu said it herself. The eldest prince is safe and sound and has not been frightened."

Xiao Anzi was so scared that he knelt down on the ground. If Concubine Gu was frightened, how would he explain to his father-in-law when he got back?

Although he didn't know why the eunuch took such good care of Changchun Palace, his life was saved by the eunuch, so he would listen to whatever the eunuch said.

"Eunuch Xiao Anzi, please get up quickly. I'll take you out."

"Don't worry, I'm here for you, Master."

After walking out of the palace, Tan Yin comforted Xiao Anzi, who looked nervous.

When she returned to the hall, Gu Youning's complexion had improved a lot.

"Master, don't worry. Since it was the string voice that came out, the eldest prince must be safe."

Tan Yin asked the palace maids in the hall to pick up the broken porcelain on the ground.

"I know Zheng'er will be fine today. I'm just worried that he's too smart and might be prone to..."

No one knows a mother better than her son. Gu Youxin had evil intentions towards Zheng'er, but this time she fell into the water. It was such a coincidence. Although Xianyu was loyal, she didn't have such a scheming mind. She was afraid that the child would make his own decision.

She was naturally happy that her son was smart, but she was also afraid that her son would take risks based on his intelligence.

"The eldest prince listens to you the most. When he left, he promised you that he would prioritize protecting himself and would not take risks lightly."

"Besides, there are eunuch He's men in Ci'an Palace. Even if our people make some mistakes, the eldest prince will be fine."

Tan Yin comforted.

"Furthermore, the fourth young lady fell into the ice cave this time. Not only did she catch a cold, but her face was also injured. I'm afraid she won't be able to be a demon for the next few days. This gives us more time to bring the eldest prince back."

But after hearing this comfort, Gu Youning did not feel relieved.

She did not forget that besides Gu Youxin, there was also a narrow-minded Xiao Yunan in Ci'an Palace.

However, Gu Youxin's fall into the water served as a wake-up call for her.

"Tan Yin, you go..."

Gu Youning turned around and whispered a few instructions.

"Slave, I'll make arrangements now."

Tan Yin responded and left.

……

On the second day, a major incident occurred in Ci'an Palace. The koi fish in the pond where Gu Youxin fell yesterday died one after another.

Even though Empress Dowager Cui's face turned pale for a moment when she heard the report from the palace maids, the palace maids could not find out anything and could only say that the water in the pond was too cold and the koi died because they could not withstand the cold.

Xiao Yun'an in Jingningju narrowed his eyes. How could it be such a coincidence?

But this incident gave him a good reason to present the scroll.

"Somebody come!"

Xiao Yun'an called out.

The main hall of Ci'an Palace.

"Mother, I will take my leave now."

Xiao Heng comforted his mother with a few words and then got up to go back to see his son.

He heard that his eldest son was frightened yesterday. Although Xiao Shengzi reported that he was not seriously injured, he was still a little worried.

He had promised Ning'er that his son would be safe in Ci'an Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Second Prince presents this with courtesy."

As the emperor turned around, a eunuch came in from the palace door holding something.

"I don't have time to look at it, take it back."

When Empress Dowager Cui heard Xiao Yun'an's name, a look of deep disgust flashed across her face.

"It's rare for this child to be so filial. I'll accompany my mother to take a look."

But the emperor stopped the eunuch.

"The Emperor can watch it if he wants."

Queen Mother Cui had another headache and simply waved her hand dejectedly.

Upon hearing this, Sun Angong hurried forward and helped the eunuch unfold the painting.

"The Guanyin Bodhisattva here actually looks alive."

Sun Angong took only one look and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

When she heard the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva, Queen Mother Cui also glanced at the scroll.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but sit up straight: "Bring it closer for me to see."

"I have never seen such a lifelike statue of Guanyin. Where did you get it?"

Empress Dowager Cui had long forgotten what the eunuch had just said.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, the Second Prince said that he painted this himself to calm the Queen Mother."
